Penlio vs Taplio the honest comparison
Taplio is a popular LinkedIn tool at $39-199/mo. We built Penlio to deliver better AI voice learning at less than half the price — without risking your account.
Same core features. Deep voice learning. Less than half the price.
Taplio is a solid tool, but it charges $39/mo for its starter plan, uses cookie-based scraping that has led to documented LinkedIn account restrictions, and does not learn your writing voice. Penlio starts at $15/mo, uses LinkedIn's official API for full account safety, and deeply learns your unique voice so every post sounds like you — not like AI.

Three reasons to switch
Deep Voice Learning
Taplio generates generic AI content. Penlio deeply analyzes your past posts, tone, vocabulary, and style to generate content that genuinely sounds like you wrote it.
Official API = Safe Account
Taplio uses cookie-based scraping and browser extensions. LinkedIn has documented restrictions on accounts using these methods. Penlio uses LinkedIn's official API — zero risk.
$15/mo vs $39/mo
Penlio costs less than half of Taplio's cheapest plan. No credits to run out of. Unlimited AI generation on paid plans. Same core features, better AI, safer approach.
